“Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”. Oh wait it says “congress” so if the President does it with the FCC that’s perfectly okay (/sarc)...

We need to make our voices heard by signing the petition. The site is included with the article. Also please excuse any typos in the article—I wrote this quickly, as soon as I received the press release and wanted to start spreading the word.

That is okay. This post is just for those who cherish their freedom and want to join others who are still trying to keep America a free country.

Federal Regulators are in our Banks, so why not Federal Regulators in editorial rooms of the Left Stream Media?

Hitler was elected by “the people”.

Obama was elected by “the people.”

Hitter had his Gestapo.

Obama has his Regulators.

This is all part of the 80 Year Dictator Cycle.

FORWARD !

Oh, nice retort. So, according to you, I’m not interested in freedom and liberty because I’m not interested in handing my personal information over to thieves. Nice.

I still refuse to sign online petitions, and I advise anybody I can not to as well.
